Wilhelm slowly moved to the table. He did not want the soldiers to suspect anything.
"Good, more gold for my purse!" said the third soldier, as he counted his gold. Wilhelm was aghast. It was the bearded soldier that Wilhelm and Mirabel had met in the swamp. The bearded soldier looked up from his stack of coins. Wilhelm quickly raised his hand of cards.
"You heard the Captain!" said the first soldier.
"I have but one coin," said Wilhelm.
"Then you shall be on your way soon!" laughed the other soldier.
"Enough talk," said the Captain.
